Santiago to Ushuaia by bike


Chiloe

Because I’m using a very slow computer at the moment, only a short update for now. After climbing the volcano Villarrica, I took the Bus to Puerto Montt. From there a cycled something like 20km to a nicely situated but completely empty campsite in Panitao. Like camping in the wild but with the advantage of a real toilett ;-). On Friday I cycled further to the city of Ancud on the Chiloe island. And because I missed a crossroad, it […]


Done! :-)

Today, I finally made it to the top of the Volcano Villarrica. And we had great weather :-). Following a few impressions from the trip. View from the summit. On the left side the complettely with smoke filled crater. And then we slided down the slope on our butt. Tomorrow I will take the bus to Puerto Montt and really start biking. All the best from Villarrica, Stefan

At least I got an interview with the Chilenian National TV about this ;-). Because I didnt really have a […]

After putting together the Puzzle which is called bike, I finally started to drive towards Santiago. This was actually not that easy and again ended up on a highway. I just say “Sicily” for insiders… However, also the guy at the toll station didnt stop me. He just looked at me a bit puzzled and […]
